(Photo by Nicholas Hunt/Getty Images for MTV) December 30, 2018 The celebrity news cycle dependably endures as a source of sensational headlines. But even by the tabloid world’s standards, 2018 felt like a whirlwind of a year — packed with roller-coaster romances, drama-fueled feuds and plenty of political ventures. To look back at the year that was, we’re handing out our superlatives for 2018 celebrity gossip. Weirdest romance: Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson The pop star and “Saturday Night Live” comic reportedly became an item in May, got engaged in June, committed to a series of couples’ tattoos over the summer and called it quits in October. If nothing else, give them credit for efficiency. Class clown: Kanye West Where to begin? The rapper said he thought slavery was a “choice,” ranted on Twitter about mind control and voiced many a nonsensical political opinion — eventually meeting with Presi...

It's been over a month since Demi Lovato left rehab following a 90-day course of treatment. The singer checked in back in July after suffering an overdose that nearly claimed her life. Needless to say, fans are deeply concerned about her well-being and eager for reports on her condition.  Sources close to Lovato have mostly maintained that she's fully committed to the hard work of recovery. But that doesn't mean there isn't cause for concern. For most addicts, recovery is not a straight line, but a winding path with many ups and downs. Celebrities are not exempt from these struggles, and several insiders have indicated that Demi's family fears she's "falling back into her old lifestyle." To be clear, no one is alleging that Lovato is back on drugs. But there are reportedly concerns that she's spending time in the company of people who may prove to be bad influences. Demi is currently dating Henry Levy , a fashion designer and fel...

Farrah Abraham is not here to cause any controversy for a change. And we're not here to make fun of her parenting in any way, shape or form. Instead, the former Teen Mom OG star made headlines over the weekend for one very sad and serious reason... ... the death of Derek Underwood. For those unaware, Underwood is the father of Abraham's daughter, Sophia. He tragically died in a car accident in 2008 and Farrah shared the photos above and below of herself at his grave site on Friday in order to pay tribute to Derek's life. And mourn his death. “These last couple of days have been some of the best days in my life, today is the 10th Anniversary of Sophia’s Father, Derek Underwood, the love of my life’s car accident 12/28/2008 that changed my life forever,” wrote the 27-year old, adding: “Seeing Sophia spend the night at her dads parents house on the 10th anniversary fills me with joy.” The polarizing reality, who rarely discusses this very sensitive topic for ...

Samantha Markle is a person of interest in Great Britain. To be clear, we're not saying Samantha Markle is an interesting person. Allow us to use some captial letters in that opening sentence in order to drive this point home: Samantha Markle is a Person of Interest in Great Britain. There. That's better and more accurate. According to The Times U.K., the British police royalty and specialty protection unit has placed Meghan Markle's terrible half-sister on what is known as a "fixated persons list" due to her "reputational risk" on the Royal Family. The aforementioned publication writes that Meghan's personal officers spoke with Scotland Yard's Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (FTAC) about Samantha, along with the consequences of what would happen if she tried to reach out to the Duchess of Sussex in person again. Because Samantha has done more than just Tweet mean things at the relative she scarcely knows. She actually went to Kensi...

Last week, 90 Day Fiance star Jay Smith made his cheating scandal even worse by trying to deflect blame. Now, he's scrambling for money for a place to stay. Like other 90 Day Fiance stars , he's turning to fans for help and has created a GoFundMe. Now that Jay Smith's relationship with Ashley Martson has apparently imploded, he is looking for a place to stay. On Sunday, December 30, he launchd a GoFundMe page in the hopes of raising the money. "Help me get and my feet an a place to stay," he writes on the page. Below, where one's personal story usually goes, he simply writes: "Need help to get in my feet." He is hoping to raise $5,000. The GoFundMe page has been shared well over 1,000 times on Facebook and that number continues to rise. As of Monday morning, he had only raised $45. Forty-five dollars . That is not a typo. Ashley had spoken about the difficulty of dealing with Jay after she learned that he was cheating. it's ...

Rob Kardashian has had a rough go of it these past few years. Granted, many -- if not most -- of Rob's problems are self-created, but nevertheless, fans have been quick to applaud the troubled 31-year-old for his recent efforts to turn his life around. Sources close to the former reality star say Rob has lost weight and recommitted himself to a sober, healthy lifestyle in 2019. And it seems his primary motivation in doing so has been his desire to be more present in the life of his daughter, Dream Kardashian. As you're probably aware, Rob has been locked in a bitter custody battle with baby mama for Blac Chyna, which has dragged on for most of Dream's life. The courts have favored Blac time and again, and for very good reason. After all, Rob has engaged in all manner of horrendous behavior in the years since the breakup, including posting nude photos of Blac on social media as an act of revenge. But despite Rob's mistreatment of his ex and his years of wel...

It may be a tad bit premature, but it's safe to say the following: Kanye West's New Year's resolution will not be to forgive and/or forget. Quite the opposite, in fact, when it comes to Drake.

In this case, the 41-year-old rapper shared a screen capture of an article that claimed that Drake, used to follow Kim Kardashian on Instagram and... ... wait, there is no and . That's it.

"Imagine having a problem with somebody and they follow your wife on Instagram."...

Details are still coming in and the exact cause of death is unknown at the moment. “Bre Payton, our beloved staff writer for The Federalist, passed away on Friday in San Diego, California, following a sudden illness,” the online magazine wrote in a statement published on its website last night.

Payton also worked for One America News, a conservative outlet on which she would occasionally fill in as a guest host. Discussing the details surrounding Payton’s death, California-based congressional candidate Morgan Murtaugh said she found Payt...

We all talk about current events, but Wendy Williams delights in the personal misfortunes of the rich and famous. She slammed Khloe as pathetic for staying with her cheating baby daddy, but sometimes, cheating rumors hit closer to home.
